Self-Evaluation I consider myself to be a digital immigrant (Warlick, 2007). I grew up with a pen or pencil but learned to use a computer and keyboard mainly due to my work. I enjoy using technology and never wanted to be a digital dinosaur so I began to teach myself about this world of technology. According to (Prensky , 2001) “Digital Immigrant teachers assume that learners are the same as they have always been , and that the same methods that worked for the teachers when they were students will work for their students now. I have learned that I can find many new ways to prepare my students for the 21st century by preparing myself. I have a very good understanding of myself. I really don’t enjoy reading I actually find it boring. However I will if it is necessary and if it will accomplish my goals. Probably because of my personal style of learning. As far as attitudes are concerned I tend to be a little critical of myself and others. I constantly strive to understand that we are all individuals and I should practice tolerance because I do realize that everyone is different. Many times leaders have to be flexible in order to get things done. The key is to strive for quality. I always have high expectations for myself and I enjoy learning new skills. I enjoy teaching and sharing the new skills I have learned while studying at Lamar. I have learned many new skills in technology and my first course at Lamar taught me something that I had wondered about for at least two years. I usually have a very good attitude and I believe that I have excellent leadership skills mainly because I have spent over 40 years learning and practicing them in the U.S.Army and law enforcement. I learned to lead by example.
